With the look of things, it is becoming apparent that EU
leaders are just awaiting for the triggering of Article 50 by Theresa May to
unleash their venom.
This assertion is made based on the fact that EU socialists’
top dog have announced full readiness to make the PM “see sense” in resolve to
stick to hard Brexit stance.
Meanwhile, left-wing boss Gianni Pitella has said Brexit as
a “disaster beginning to unfold” after the Scottish First Minister declared
another independence referendum following the PM’s alleged refusal to actively involve
Scotland in her Brexit pursuit.
Furthermore, Mr Pitella has vowed to go on with his fight to
ensure EU nationals retain their rights in the UK, while also making sure
British citizens are also protected in other EU nations.
He said: “One of the fundamental points that my
parliamentary group will defend to the hilt is that of defending the rights of
European citizens who live and work in the UK.
“And, at the same time we also wish to see guaranteed the
rights of UK citizens who live and work in the EU.
“There will be a strong and hard fought battle for that. It
seems to me the wrong path is being chosen.
“People are seeking to move into confrontation, this surely
is a blind alley and we have to ensure that things are seen for what they are.”
Also, in condemning the PM’s negotiating scheme in general,
the Italian insisted that a “hard Brexit” will only have negative consequences
for both the EU and UK.
He said: “The disaster is beginning to unfold. Scotland has
said it wishes to have a vote on moving outside the UK, so for Brexit the UK
will become a residual UK.
“There are a series of negative consequences flowing from
hard Brexit. We’ll try and put a stop to that, we’ll try and make Mrs May see
sense.”
He further said: “The idea of having some huge tax haven is
the wrong path for the UK. There are commitments that have been entered into
now.
“If I’ve got a house that I leave, I can’t leave without
paying for the gas and the water that I’ve consumed when I’m there and the same
I think will apply to Mrs May, even though she’s chosen hard Brexit.”
During his speech, he also expressed his “entire sympathy” to
Scottish voters who wanted to remain in the bloc last June, but he also failed
to offer Nicola Sturgeon any glimmer of hope over her EU aspirations.
Top eurocrats and Spain have already laughed off the SNP
leader’s claims that her country will be able to simple stay in the bloc if it
chooses to split with the rest of the UK.
Edinburgh had hoped it could seek solace in the support of
the naturally more europhile parliament, but the influential MEP merely said
the issue of its future membership “doesn’t lie in our hands”.
